We use the application of external ultrasonic energy to reduce swelling during the recovery process in aesthetic surgeries, which will help you feel less pain and also be able to return to your daily activities in a short time. This treatment has cosmetic implications as well, due to the improvement of cellular metabolism in the skin and adipose tissue produced by its cavitation effect.
Ultrasound therapy produces blood flow augmentation as well as oxygenation improvement in the intervening areas, which helps to correct, as a result, skin alterations and areas affected by adiposity. In the case of surgical procedures, this treatment contributes to a good scarring process and prevents fibrosis from happening.
Besides its hyperemic action, ultrasound has a neural effect; it causes a temporary nerve block that produces a certain degree of analgesic, as well as mechanical effect. These are also the reasons why ultrasound is often associated to therapeutic massage.
